Nigerians' Mostly Used Acronyms,slangs And Their Meanings. by 2muchopoTBdope(m): 8:58am On Oct 28, 2015
Communication is key in any society and in a place like Nigeria where gisting(chatting) is the order of the day, some of us can't even do without gossiping. Both online and offline, we all commuicate. Nigerians are one of the largest users of the internet in recent times. In Nigeria, show me who isn't on whatsapp, bbm, or even 2go, to mention a few. While communicating, a lot of acronyms,shortcuts and slangs have been invented to keep chats more interesting and lively. I have chatted with some people who ask me questions like 'what's the meaning of that acronym you wrote?'. So, I decided to pick out a few to help some of us and they are listed below;
LOL - Laugh Out Loud
